Cloudflare Wrangler OAuth scopes now optional, but docs lag

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Cloudflare has updated its Wrangler and Cloudflare API MCP server to allow optional OAuth scopes, enabling users to decline individual permissions instead of approving all requested scopes. This change, effective August 22, 2026, introduces an 'Edit Permissions' control in the consent dialog. However, documentation discrepancies persist, with the Wrangler CLI reference page, last updated August 19, 2026, still stating that the command defaults to granting all available scopes. The underlying platform capability for optional scopes was released on August 20, 2026, but client developers must explicitly classify scopes as required or optional. AI

IMPACT Minimal impact for AI operators; primarily affects developers managing Cloudflare credentials for agents or tools.
